The AHLA Awards Program celebrates individuals and organizations for their outstanding achievements, commitment to the mission and values of the Association, and service to the heath law community. The Association is seeking members to serve on its Awards Judging Panels. Serving on a Judging Panel requires a commitment to thoughtfully review, evaluate, and recommend a deserving recipient. Panel members will review and score applications and meet virtually with others on the Panel to discuss the nominations, reach consensus on the recipient selected, and advance their name to the Awards Advisory Group for final approval. Each Judging Panel will be representative of AHLA’s membership to ensure a range of work settings, practice areas, and a variety of voices and perspectives are represented. Members must disclose any potential conflicts of interest and may not serve on a Panel for an award where they have submitted a nomination.
